Women and Prohibition.

Prohibition, to begin with, does not,
will not and can not prohibit. That
drink is the parent of f1ve-sixths of the
evil in the world, | believe; and if /
could annihilate drink, and ali other
forms of stimulation. would. 1t is
impossible. One might as we'll under
take to abolish fire or water. The
only effect of the enactment of laws at
tempting it, is to increase the poison
in drink, to multiply outlaws and to
manufacture hypocrisy. Waving the
political question involved, prohibition
is device of the devil 20 pnsnare III
nopSRs aeqis. It IS particularly 40
with respect 10 Woneh: IL was de
vised and means by Satan to lure them
to destruction.
1t is the women who most suffers
from the evil consequences of drink. 1t
is she who must sit with folded hands
whilst the drinking husband slowly
staggers down the abyss b6fore him.
II is she Who Iaust toll to get living
for helpless little ones, while the brutal
husband spends his all at the dram
| shop. 1t is she, at last, who falls be-
meath the cruel blows which drink in
f1icts upon all, but chief and worst

her oppressor, and scorn of the selfish
beast who becomes that rch-fiend's
agent. But the devil knows very well
that prohibition does not prohibit, ne
has the soul of the t,E.lAkard safe in
his lock-Rp. it6w Shall he get at the
| soul Of the wife? There is but one
way; entice her under the pretense of
great moral work into politics; arouse
her emotional nature into a frenzy of
political excitement; lure her away
from home into public organization
make man of her IN sheyt. and then
go for hes as the devil goes for men
whom he has filled with another kind
of stimulant. II Is the same old story.

CONCERNING THE BONDS.

Since our issue of last week, matters
have developed which have put an en-
tirely different face on the Midland &
Western bond question. Of these
matters we learned too late for notice
in last weeks paper, but we believe the
change of public sentiment by those
who favored the bonds, has been
pretty thoroughly known.
The Midland s. Western people were
to have made survey through the
county before the bonds were voted
to show where the road proposed to
run. AS they did not do this, frequent
letters of inquiry were sent them by
our people, these letters stating that it
was necessary for the survey to be
made according to agreement in order
to show us what they proposed doing.
To most of these letters no answer
could be obtained.
Finally a letter from III. L. Morrill,,
Second Vice President and General
Manager of the Frisco, was received in
which he stated that the Frisco had nc
connection with the Midland & West
ern in the matter of the proposed
bonds. Upon this the Great Bend
Board of Trade held a meeting and de-
eided that, in view Of the failure OF
the Midland & Western people to make
a survey, and upon the information
contained in the letter from Mr.. Nor.
rill, it would not be wise to support the
bonds.
Monday the Board of Trade
met with 9. Fl. bentley, attorney fol-
the NJ. i W.. who, after explaining al
length the reasons why "a survey had
not been made, submitted the follow.
ing letter:
CT. BEND, KAN, Aug. p, 1887.
To the Board of Trade, Great Bend
Kansas
GENFLEsfEs: Because of pressure
OF business on the Kansas Midland
railroad, we are unable to survey anG
definitely locate the line of the Mid
land & Western railway through Bar
ton county, and, whereas, dissatisfac
ton has arisen en- that account, il
has been thought proper to withdraw
the pending railway proposition anG
the same is hereby Withdrawn and il
is recommended that the polls be moi
opened. o. H. BENTLEY,
Secretary and Attorney of the Mid
land & Western Railway company
As result, the bonds are no 60.

BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT
OFFICIAL PAPER OF BARTON COUNTY.
GREAT BEND, =: KAS

THE first number of the Seward In
dependent has reached our table. 1t
shows that good workmen have ham
died the type to put it up, and YER
satile writer has furnished the copy.
La Rue Durham is the publisher.
IT is reported that man named
Robert Grace has dissolved a vein OF
coal at a, depth of 100 feet, on his
farm Is miles north of Larned. If this
turns out to be good find it will en-
courage our people to go ahead with
the gas prospecting well.
LET the members of the Democratic
county committee in the various town.
ships remember that the county COM
mittee recommended that they hold
their primaries September 21st. 1t IS
not absolutely necessary that the prlm-
aries be held on this day, if another is
more suitable, but for the sake of uni
formity it would be better. 1t should
also be borne in mind that each town
ship should elect set of alternates as
well as delegates.
THERE is still room in the DEMO
GRAFT for more announcements. The
truth is, our candidates do not seem
to realize that the only formal way to
present their names to the people is
through the columns of the party Or
gan. 1t is now only few weeks until
hn
pleased to give every man an equal
show by publishing his announcement.
We make this request, not for the
money that is in it, but simply from
the fact that it will allow us to discuss
the merits of all the candidates. OF
course we do not feel like discussing
the claims of any candidate until he
has formally announced himself
WHEN the few doubling Thomas
who are working themselves all up in a
stew of uneasiness concerning the we'll
fare of Kansas ON the corn question
want the opinion of others than news
paper publishers on the question, they
should read the following from Elk.
Gov Geo. T. Anthony:
"When people speak of Kansas not
having enough grain to feed her own
stock, they know nothing about what
they talk of. There will not only be
enough corn for home consumption,
but Kansas will rank among the sur
plus states, and there will be train
load after train load to ship away. In
the western portion of the state the
late crops will be the best, on account
of recent heavy rains. Kansas is far
better off than most people give her
credit for being, and it is time all this
loud talk about short crops, drouth
and failure was stopped. Taking the
entire of LeavenwOrth county, includ-
ing wheat, corn and all kinds of fruit,
this year has been the most successful
one for twenty years, and the same can
